Incourt: Six Rural Sections of Walloon Brabant

With about 5,662 inhabitants (January 2024) over 38.91 km² (density 145.5 inh./km²), Incourt is a French-speaking commune of Walloon Brabant, at coordinates 50°42’N / 4°47’E, in the Nivelles arrondissement (postal code 1315). The commune comprises six sections: Incourt, Glimes, Opprebais, Piétrebais, Sart-Risbart and Roux-Miroir.

Sections and profile

Incourt centre : Municipal core around the town hall, sharing its location with Saint Peter’s church.

Glimes, Opprebais, Piétrebais, Sart-Risbart, Roux-Miroir : Rural and village sections of the Brabant Hesbaye, scattered housing among farms, family homes and recent subdivisions.

Agricultural character

The low density (145 inh./km²) reflects the commune’s extensive agricultural character. Vast stretches of cultivated land, orchards and meadows dominate the landscape of this eastern part of Walloon Brabant, midway between the urbanised zones of Wavre/Louvain-la-Neuve and the Liège Hesbaye.

Lock types in Incourt

The Hesbaye agricultural character dominates: older farms with heavy locks on original doors, terraced houses in village centres with mortise locks, and recent residential subdivisions with multipoint locks and certified cylinders. Saint Peter’s church and protected buildings call for respectful interventions.
